PLEX "Playback Error: Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna." #91

Closed puv closed 2 years ago

puv commented 2 years ago

Hi, I have encountered an issue where once I start loading a channel, after approx 5 seconds it just throws me an error saying "Could not tune channel. Please check your tuner or antenna." I am running Antennas on Docker on a Raspberry Pi 4B.

In antennas logs, I see plex sending two requests, nothing more.

  --> GET /discover.json 200 2ms 394b
  <-- GET /lineup_status.json
  --> GET /lineup_status.json 200 2ms 77b

In TVHeadend, it seems that plex requests to see a channel, but then stops soon after, there are no errors whatsoever apart from that.

As for Plex logs, there seems to be nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Silly me, spent like 12 hours searching for a fix and just realized to use the "pass" profile.

Hi @puv - sorry to necro - can you provide anymore info on this? i'm having the same error. The URLs in lineup.json work fine in VLC, i've disabled every profile expect 'pass' in tvheadend but still get this error in plex

I even sometimes get a flicker of the live feed for half a second, just a still, before it errors out.

Silly me as well! This is because the browser can't support MPEG-2, it works on the android TV app.

ran into this issue too, because I had a streaming profile that muxes the stream into a Matroska container set as the global default

didn't work even though I had set the "pass" profile as the default for the user I used for HDHomeRun emulation -- it would just default to the Matroska profile, which would cause Plex Transcoder to fail (resulting in the "Could not tune channel" error)

turns out, I had to also select "Streaming profiles" in the "Change parameters" field (duh) for the user. without that, it just won't apply the defaults you've configured for the user
